Attempting first lease with knowledge

[turtlejay]

hey guys,

Ive gained so much information from here, so thank you.

I am armed with the info gathered from here but have been unable to get the dealers to be transparent with their numbers. Any advice?

I would just insist they email you the deal sheet. Don’t step into a dealership until you have his information.

i have a dealer rep offering me a volt with 2k miles on it, says theres an extra rebate. my last email to him was just that, i want a deal sheet.

we will see i guess. thanks for weighing in

Look at my (and others’) comments in this thread:

Start the negotiation so you can control it.

How to start the negotiation?

Hi! How do you start the conversation when you sit down to discuss numbers? Do you let them put down their numbers first and then eliminate the down payment and try to reduce the monthly? Should you wait until after that to offer putting MSD down as well (if they accept that)? Or do you tell them your full bottom line and what you’re willing to do for it all at once? Thanks very much!
